You will find this #%*&!! on a lot of Aeolian "pianers" from the 70's era. I've seen several Knabes and Mason & Hamlins from that era with it. I particularly like how they colored it to look like buckskin so that nobody would notice, (ha ha). Regulating one of these is futile and forget about repetition. Whoever came up with that idea must have been buddies with the guy at Baldwin who decided that corfam was a good material for upright hammer butts. The guy who invented the "New Coke" formula was probably his room mate.
